imagination is THE bridge to IDENTITY AND Emotional InTELLIGENCE

Motivating students to write and achieve accuracy and imaginative qualities is challenging for most teachers.

Imaginative writing helps students validate their importance and build their self-expression in understanding and shaping meaning. It also develops a non-judgemental sense of achievement through using the imagination, and draws out aspects of difference, being individual and collective identity.

The method of inventing stories prompted by a diversity of images enables Scribeasy to engage students visually with topics across the curriculum. The use of technology also provides visual and evidence based data driven alternatives for individuals and groups - who may progress better with a different approach alongside traditional learning methods.

Our creative workshops continue to highlight the positive impact of using immersive, experiential methods in eliciting greater emotional responses from the students. With this in mind, one area of particular application is Scribeasy’s role in the development of well being andempathy. On going research continues to show that a greater understanding of emotions helps to develop self-awareness and self-compassion. In turn, this can help build an appreciation of ‘other’.

“True empathy though, is an act of imagination. We have to imagine what it would be like to be in the minds of others, to walk in their shoes”(Professor Paul Gilbert, The Compassionate Mind, 2013’.
